Support Lani's Recovery and Medical Expenses

“Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten” ― Lilo and stitch

I start this with a truly wonderful quote from the classic Disney movie; Lilo & Stitch with regards to the importance of family and how they remain in our hearts no matter where they are or whatever they're going through. And that is exactly what this GoFundMe is going towards, a wonderful friend, a talented family member, a loving partner and overall, truly amazing individual; Keopuolani Palakiko.

Keopuolani Palakiko, also nicknamed "Lani", is one of our beloved family, friend and love in our lives. She was recently taken to the emergency room of a nearby hospital on the early morning of Friday, October 29th around 01:11AM PST with chest pain, difficulty breathing and a persistent cough. She would eventually be transferred to another hospital to get further treatment around 05:18AM PST of the same morning as her conditioned worsened with a high resting heart rate of 140 BPM (beats per minute). By the next day, on the Saturday, October 30th, around 07:32AM PST would be transferred to the ICU (intensive care unit) where she would get further treatment, thankfully with those closest to her by her side as she slowly recovered from her condition.

She continued to fight the pain, coughing as she would eventually be off breathing tubes, able to talk and as her treatments continued throughout, eventually being discharged and sent home by Friday, November 1st around 03:31PM PST. With new meds as she continues to recover, heal and rest in the meanwhile, we hope she continues to feel better after her hospitalization. Unfortunately, due to not having proper insurance from her current workplace that's inconsistent with the care she's under, she's getting some aid from Medi-caid, but will still need further assistance to accompany for the other medical costs that Medi-caid cannot cover. Which is why this GoFundMe is being made.

Lani is hopeful to get back to work as a registered nurse and artist on her several projects and commissions as she continues to heal and improve her health further and your assistance of any kind is helpful. Donate whatever you can and share this link to other fellow friends and family that could help as much as possible for a great, amazing person. We as her close friends and family believe in the human spirit and kindness that each person has, for Lani continues to shower that, even in this time of healing. She's thankful for all the help that can be provided and wants to continue to move forward positively for everything going on. As her significant other, I truly am thankful for everyone that contributes to Lani's health and healing process and hope you can take the time to read and donate to assist her during these difficult times. Thank you everyone for all that you are and do and Lani continues to be ever grateful for all the messages and help along the way.

Aloha Oe~!
